This is the first comprehensive guide to touristic and religious sites in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Its special relevance relates to the fact that it has been authored by Palestinians (most available guides are written and published either by Israeli or foreign agencies.) This guide goes into details of some sites which are yet undiscovered to the foreign, and even local tourists. The guide places special emphasis on the Arab, Muslim, and Christian aspects of the various sites, indeed, since this is the nature of these areas and it represents their most prominent characteristics from the seventeenth century up to the present.
As Danny Rubinstein notes in his review of
the book published in the English "Ha'aretz" of July 25th, "The Palestinian
guide is the first of its kind in the new political entity of "Palestinian
rule" and the state-in-the-making. It is an intriguing read even for those
who do not plan to pop into Gaza for a visit tomorrow."
